Drones in Alberton
Alberton splits neatly into ridge and flat ground, and drone work follows the split. Up on the Klipriviersberg ridge, Meyersdal and Mayberry Park have large homes with views that estate agents and owners like to show from the air, beside the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve, which is a protected area. Down on the flats, Alrode and Alberton North hold factories and depots that ask for roof inspections, stock measurement and site records. Thokoza and Katlehong add community events and municipal projects. Rand Airport sits a short way to the north, so check airspace before flying. Thunderstorms build over the ridge on summer afternoons, and winter haze settles on the industrial flats.
